Biography
Abu Hajar al-Souri was a key leader of the Islamic State and the second-in-command for planning and executing terrorist operations for Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He used to move between Iraq and Syria on an on-going basis to follow up on the group's members, and became known as a top aide to the Caliph. The Iraqi Army air hawks were able to make a direct hit on one of IS's main strongholds in Tal al-Rumman, west of Mosul, killing Abu Hajar al-Souri and six other IS soldiers, including Arabs and foreign fighters. The bombing was the fruit of cooperation with civilians.
